Four guys in double figures and scor- ing over 70 points usually gets us a win.” Sophomore Riley Marshall had 23 points for the Greyhounds.

RAINIER — The Warrenton Lady Warriors faced their first big test of the season Tuesday night, and played well but ultimately fell short at Rainier, as the Columbians held off the Warriors 49-36. Warrenton scored a combined five points in the first and third quarters — not enough to keep pace with Rainier and senior post Desirae Hansen, who finished with 24 points. Tyla Little led the Warriors with 18 points, while teammate Claire Bussert had three quick fouls and missed much of the first half. “The shots just didn’t fall for us in the first and third (quarters),” said Warrenton coach Robert Hoepfl. “We competed hard in the second half, but we had dug too big of a hole for ourselves. You can’t have two- and three-point quarters and expect to stay with a good team like Rainier.” — The Daily Astorian
